Drown

Drown

It's a meaningless dance, the intertwining of it all,
Fate and destiny conspire in secret places to bring us low.
This life is extraordinary, a thing of fragile beauty,
But sometimes, sometimes we forget ourselves, and bring horror to it
all.
Yeah it never rains outside, but it pours inside my head,
I watch the rivers flow, oh but sometimes I want to float, float out to
the sea.
I bring out the best in others shadows,
Sometimes I think of how it used to be&;#8230;
When with a smile and some care we would talk about hazel
memories.

But we remember the sad songs, the voices of those who went
before,
The streets are pressed cold, with the memories of the day.
I cover up my eyes, and wish for better dreams,
I cover up my heart and think of warmer days.

Fashion and money are such trivial things,
We worship crafted beauty on sterile TV screens.
I gave my love to the heroine of the month,
The girl who looks so sad, I thought her heart would burst.
Trapped behind the camera lens, you were a butterfly pressed to a cold
mirror.
But just last night I took a heroin overdose as a gift to you my sweet
dream.
I laid alone in my cold bed, and died inside my head.

But we remember the sad songs, the voices of those who went
before,
The streets are pressed cold, with the memories of the old.
I cover up my eyes, and wish for better dreams,
I cover up my heart and think of warmer days.
Fashion and beauty are such trivial things.

Yeah I remember our sad songs, the voices of those who used to
know,
The secret life of the sea, as they drown in misery
I cover up your eyes, and wish for better things,
I cover up your heart and say the sweetest things.
Slowly we will fall into a soft decline,
Wishing for a future that will never ever come.
